I was originally scheduled to have a right hip replacement performed by Mr Zameer Shah in March this year but due to heart problems, and considering my age of 89, a cardiologist who was consulted deemed it too dangerous to allow the operation to go ahead. He prescribed medication to improve the heart function and advised a delay in the operation of six months to make the medication work. During this period Mr Shah and his super-efficient assistant Aamirah kept in touch with me to hear how I was progressing and to minimise the delay in the operation as much as possible. A new date for the operation was scheduled for mid-September but just days before this date I, on a visit to my GP, was told that I might have developed a dangerous blockage in my right leg and that this should be examined by a vascular surgeon. The hip operation was put on hold and the search for a vascular surgeon was on. Found the following day he declared the blood flow in her leg to be normal and with just three days to go before the cancelled operation we turned to Aamirah to see if she could re-instate the date of the operation. She succeeded! I cannot speak too highly of the support we received from Aamirah throughout this six months' period and I am grateful to Mr Shah for having replaced my seriously degraded hip joint successfully.
